Circle library, stained

Very nice Brae. I really like the drift wood stain. The wood still looks natural, but has character.

I like the drift wood too. I also really like what the stain is doing to the tiny turnings on the dumb waiter.. they look a lovely shade of aged grey.

One thing that has become noticeable with the stain is the vertical grain on the outer & inner circle as opposed to the horizontal grain on the rest of the library.. are you going to change that when you glue it, or are you going to leave it that way for visual interest?
 

Thank you! 

If you notice, the grain of the circle backing also runs vertically.  That was my intention all along, to have visual interest and movement between the two parts.  Although, once all the stuff is on the shelves, the horizontal grain will be less noticeable overall.

The stain is perfect! I love that circle library!

Ahh.. yes, I didn't notice at first, but now I do.. I didn't know if it was intentional or another happy accident.  It's nice that the stain is emphasizing it so well. It just adds that little bit extra to a wonderful piece.
